fake prince

Chapter 144

Outside the government office, there was a patter of rain, and pedestrians hurried past. In this area, few people dared to come forward on a sunny day, and at this time, there were even fewer people.

In the restaurant a hundred meters away from the yamen, Su Ziji talked with wild Taoists and looked at the yamen from time to time.

The rain was still falling, but it wasn't heavy, and it was falling slowly. Ye Taoist and Su Ziji walked side by side, half a step behind.

Su Ziji was aware of it, but Ye Daoist's behavior was in line with the relationship between disciple and master in this era, so he didn't say anything.

The wild Taoist said: "Young master, Jia Yuan is very good at doing business. In the past few years, he has sold a large number of silks and satins to other countries in the sea trade, and brought spices back to sell. He has made a lot of money."

"Although due to various unlucky things, most of them have dispersed, but the rest is not small. You said, although we have handed over all the evidence to him, does this person dare to appeal?"

Su Ziji glanced at him, but he didn't know that he said this on purpose, and smiled: "You're testing me."

Don't listen to the wild Taoist's repeated "dare not", saying: "Jia Yuan is now riding a tiger, killing his father, mother, wife, and son. It's fine if he doesn't expose it. If he exposes it, he will be utterly irreconcilable. If he doesn't avenge him, who can afford it?" he?"

"His relationship, business, and fleet will collapse immediately, and he will not be able to live in this world." As he said, Su Ziji glanced at the wild Taoist: "Isn't this the effect you want?"

The savage Taoist chuckled, "Young Master, your eyes are like torches."

Hearing the sound of the rain around him, I felt a little excited. I had been silent for many years, and I had been muddling along. For myself, it was extremely aggrieved.

Now I finally have a little hope, and I am a sensible person following the lord. A few days ago, when it comes to my heart, I still had fear and shrink back, but at this moment, I knocked a county official into the dust with a single gesture. As soon as he tasted it, he immediately understood - this is the life I want to live after learning the dragon slaying technique.

No wonder the heroes of all ages are not afraid of life and death, this feeling is too unforgettable.

Ye Daoist smiled and said: "Master, in fact, he may not have heard about this matter, but he didn't dare to expose it. Now that it is exposed, he has to do it."

Su Ziji nodded, agreeing with what the wild Taoist said, his eyes fixed, seeing Jia Yuan hurrying towards him with an oil bag in his arms, the two of them looked at each other, and they were relieved.

"You're not mistaken." Su Ziji said softly as he watched Jia Yuan pick up the drumstick and knocked on the yamen's big cowhide drum.

Ye Taoist also looked at it, and also said softly: "Huang Liangping's actions are too vicious. He killed his parents and cut off his children. Once exposed, the result will be doomed."

Jia Yuan's resignation stemmed from despair.

Amidst the sound of the rain, the sound of drums could still be heard for two or three miles. Not only Su Ziji and Ye Taoist were looking at the yamen at this moment, but even pedestrians who avoided the area of ​​the yamen couldn't help but stop and look over.

"Now that Jia Yuan is in place, do you think the imperial envoy will take over?" Su Ziji asked rhetorically.

"Whether the imperial envoy will accept me or not, I don't dare to say anything, but I have pointed out Jia Yuan and bribed the accompanying officials of the imperial envoy with a lot of money. At least the pleadings can be delivered to the imperial envoy and will not be intercepted by the prefect."

"Besides, there are two more serious crimes, and I will also ask people to collect evidence."

"But you can't throw it out all at once. You have to hit the rocks at the critical moment to have better results."

"It's best if the imperial envoy can pick it up, but if you don't pick it up, there are other candidates."

"You did the right thing." Su Ziji nodded. In fact, this time, the savage Taoist managed it quite beautifully. Even he himself was a little surprised by this guy's ability.

The wild Taoist said that what he learned was the dragon slaying technique, Su Ziji was still a little skeptical, but now he has to admit that it is really powerful.

"Let's go, we won the bet, and the imperial envoy took over!" Seeing that the gate of the yamen was wide open at this time, a yamen servant came out and brought Jia Yuan in, and the nearby people also came to the gate of the yamen one after another, you squeezed me, I squeezed You, look inside, Su Ziji said to the wild Taoist, and walked over.

They followed the crowd and mingled among them, looking inconspicuous, and through the constantly whispering crowd, they could see the scene inside the yamen at a glance.

I saw Jia Yuan being taken to the side of the Yamen, waiting for the officials to arrive.

The yamen servants are fairly well-trained and stand on both sides.

A thin man wearing a third-rank official uniform walked to the center and sat down, and then a Taoist came out and sat down on the left side.

"He still has business here?" Su Ziji in the crowd was also a little surprised that the Taoist could sit next to the imperial envoy on such an occasion, on an equal footing with the magistrate.

Looking at it this way, he underestimated the influence of Taoist priests on court officials.

"My lord, this Taoist is very famous and has a fifth-rank official title." The wild Taoist said immediately.

This is understandable, just thinking about it, Huang Liangping, the magistrate of Shuanghua Prefecture, sat down on the right, with a serious face, no different from others, but Su Ziji could see that this person was unhappy when he looked at it from a distance.

"When welcoming the imperial envoy, Huang Liangping's attitude was respectful, and he temporarily gave up the mansion. He thought it would be a matter of two or three days, but the imperial envoy just passed by Shuanghua mansion and stayed there temporarily. It has been a week now."

"Huang Liangping was absent due to illness, obviously unhappy."

"Now I am even more dissatisfied with the imperial envoy's meddling in the affairs of Shuanghua Mansion. After all, the imperial envoy is just passing by, and the mission is to control the water instead of patrolling."

It seems that even capable officials are rarely free from factional disputes, but despite the same struggles, Envoy Luo Qin has a decent character and will not murder innocent people at will.

"Youdao is the enemy of the enemy, but also a friend. However, this person is a friend of the Taoist priest..."

"Leaving this aside, I really want to know what kind of expression Huang Liangping has when he knows that he is the one suing himself."

Su Ziji was thinking to himself, the hall has been ascended inside.

"Wei-wu-" the yamen servants on both sides shouted in unison, the noise outside also suddenly stopped, and everyone stared inside.

"Bring those who beat the drums and cry for injustice!" Luo Pei, who was sitting in the middle, said in a low voice after slapping the gavel, while the corner of the prefect's mouth twitched slightly, showing more and more displeasure.

This is the magistrate's office, Luo Pei's seat is his own, sitting in the middle, knocking on his own gavel, it's really awe-inspiring!
In the officialdom of Dazheng, bow to the top of the third rank, and kneel before the third rank, but the subordinate officials must bow down when they formally meet the chief official.

Luo Pei's official rank is only third grade, and he is only an imperial envoy of Zhihe, so he should not show his face because of his status as an imperial envoy.

What case do you take?Show off the official power of the imperial envoy, or imply that there is an unjust case here, and the officials will protect each other?This is clearly slapping yourself in the face!
This is out of the ordinary, I must write a letter to the prince, and take the opportunity to read a book in front of the emperor!
Thinking in his heart, prefect Huang glanced down.

But when he saw who the person who was brought up to beat the drums and cry for grievances was, Huang Liangping was shocked. It took decades of nourishing energy to keep his complexion from changing drastically.
